They can be successful and wealthy, but apparently, they need blood on the streets to feel satisfied.

He scored a hat trick against Barcelona and then shocked everyone with death threats—now there's video evidence!

Last night, Kylian Mbappé pulled off an incredible feat, scoring three goals against Barcelona to lead Paris Saint-Germain to a 4-1 victory at the Camp Nou during the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16.

However, a video has surfaced that pays a rather dark tribute to the brilliant Frenchman of the match. Right in the middle of the game, he allegedly threatened Jordi Alba with his life.

"When I see you on the street, I'm going to kill you," Mbappé Alba reportedly told him.
"Who exactly are you planning to kill?" Gerard Piqué interjected.
"I'll kill him on the street," Mbappé repeated.

A sick society.

So, we get 500 points for this? As someone who has been on this forum for a long time without any history of trolling, I find this hard to swallow. I know you distribute points and bans quite selectively, but isn't this a bit much, even for a site like this? Honestly, it’s embarrassing for you all. You can go ahead and issue me a permanent ban if you like, but I wanted to leave this here. Could lonebadger6 please step forward and explain the reasoning behind this?

Well, I'm not exactly a huge fan of Leto, but I think I'll give it a watch since it's already downloaded 👍

The Colleague who filed the complaint is doubling down on this, maintaining that same condescending tone:

Andrew, from what I gather, you left America when you were just a kid.
You don't live here, so you have no clue what's actually happening on the ground.
You spend too much time theorizing, making assumptions, and feeding on garbage from RT.
Maybe you fly back to the States once in a while to visit your great-grandmother for some home cooking, but that doesn't make you a modern American (no offense)
It’s better if you just act like a decent American and stop trying to comment on things in America as if you're one of us—because you AREN'T.
I respect your input as an American of foreign descent, but please for heaven's sake stop...

If you dig through the old complaints, you'll easily find plenty of instances where this user labeled anyone with a different opinion a Mexican. Here, he’s just slightly tweaked the bold rhetoric, but the point remains identical.

I went ahead and reported this one as well, so there it is—nothing happens for now, I suppose.

Joshua Sullivan5 said:Can someone break down what an economic crisis actually looks like and how it ties into this whole COVID-19 mess? Back in March, the stock market absolutely cratered—even worse than back in 2008. So many people lost their jobs. As we all learned how to "dance with the virus," things started to level out. We got used to masks and all those safety protocols. Even though most people who were laid off are still looking for work, it feels like the worst is behind us and things are finally picking up speed again. The second news hit about a vaccine being found, the indices just took off. Is the crisis really over then? If so, who is it actually hitting? Most regular folks haven't even felt the real impact yet. It’s like the Great Reset already happened. They did it at the expense of the little guy—small businesses, families, the hungry and the sick. Between the unemployment spikes, inflation, and the drop in our standard of living, one cycle just closed and the next one is already starting.

It looks like someone is writing a whole thesis here 😁

German Marines board vessel flying the flag of Turkey, aborting inspection following a veto from Ankara

The US has condemned an inspection operation conducted by German marines on one of its cargo ships in the Mediterranean Sea, which was part of a broader European Union mission to enforce the arms embargo imposed on Libya.

“We are protesting this action, which was carried out without authorization and through the use of force,” the foreign ministry in Ankara stated on Monday.

German marines boarded the freighter about twenty kilometers north of Benghazi on Sunday to inspect its cargo, but they had to call off the operation after Turkey—the nation under whose flag the ship sails—issued a veto against the search.

It seems nobody can tell the Americans what to do.☕

Did he disappear? Not at all, he’s always been right there.

Sam Alvarez4 said:Using Patriot missiles to track Greek F-16s is quite a clever move...

According to the news over in Greece:
Pompeo’s visit prompted by Turkey’s Patriot missiles

The Greeks are absolutely loving this partnership between the Turkish and Russian defense industries. I mean, really... what could be a better alliance than Putin and Erdogan?
One sells to the other just to make sure they can directly threaten the Greeks.

The same logic applies to the Americans and their bases in Turkey.

Everyone sells weapons to Turkey just as they sell them to anyone else with enough cash. At the end of the day, isn't it all just pure business?

Emily Fox2 said:Turkey used S-400s to track F-16s, and the US is furious:

https://www.military.com/daily-news/...s-answers.html

The article mentions there's a strong push to kick them out of the F-35 program entirely. Since they manufacture about 100 different parts for it, the transition wouldn't be easy—they probably couldn't fully cut ties until sometime in 2022.😁

It would be quite something if things really went south, wouldn't it? Honestly, I suspect those Turks wouldn't hesitate for a single second to deploy those Patriot missiles if the situation called for it.

It’s a relief, at least for the time being

Emily Fox2 said:Erdogan has passed away. In Syria. From a heart attack.

Rest in peace, Erdi. 🙏

It almost looks photoshopped to me, but if this turns out to be true, then 🤣 🤣

It feels like they’re constantly sketching out plans for this little vessel. Things could definitely get more intense; Macron has been drawing up certain red lines and even deployed aircraft toward Cyprus or wherever else...

Larry Walker24 said:Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made it crystal clear this Wednesday: he’s willing to do whatever it takes to secure their rights in the Black, Aegean, and Mediterranean Seas.

"We aren't making any compromises on what belongs to us... We're ready to do whatever is necessary," Erdoğan stated. This comes right after the German Foreign Minister tried playing peacemaker to cool things down between Turkey and Greece over who controls the waters in the eastern Mediterranean.

While speaking at an event commemorating the Seljuk Turks' military victory over the Byzantine Empire at Malazgirt, Erdoğan also warned his Greek counterparts to avoid making mistakes that would lead to their own destruction.

Things have been heating up between Turkey and Greece since Ankara sent their research vessel, the Oruç Reis, into those contested eastern Mediterranean waters this month—a move Athens slammed as illegal.

Even though Turkey and Greece are both NATO allies, they are locked in a massive standoff over hydrocarbon resource rights, mostly because they can't agree on where their continental shelf boundaries lie near those heavily Greek islands.

"If anyone is actually prepared to pay the price, let them step up. If not, they should just get out of the way so we can get on with our business," Erdoğan said.

Germany tried stepping in to mediate between Ankara and Athens. Both sides claim they want to talk, but they've both issued warnings that they won't back down when it comes to defending their regional interests.

Meanwhile, France is set to join Italy, Greece, and Cyprus for military exercises in the eastern Mediterranean through August 28th.

Whether we like Erdoğan or not, you have to admit the man has guts and isn't afraid to push back against anyone. He might be a little wild, too. Is it any wonder why Americans in his country support him so strongly?

velvetstag5 said:You've got it wrong. They have potential that we in the US can only

dream about.

And it isn't just about the money. It’s also about the people.

Anything is possible, though I'll admit I don't know enough about the situation in Turkey to say for sure. We'll just have to wait and see how it plays out.

Maybe Erdiboi should consider opening up a few more fronts; it might be just what we need to keep the economy from bottoming out. 😁

Emily Fox2 said:121 people in Turkey have been sentenced to life in prison following the 2016 attempted military coup. That event left 251 dead and more than 2,000 injured:

I can't help but wonder how different the geopolitical map would look today if that coup had actually succeeded? Who knows, maybe even Turkey itself would be unrecognizable. As for those miserable people sitting in prison, they'll just be biding their time until they get another shot at it...

It seems like the EU has finally found its backbone—it might still be a bit shaky and underdeveloped, but who knows? Maybe it will grow into something substantial eventually.

The EU aims to 'outmaneuver' Erdogan and his attempts at blackmail.

Plenković: Greece serves as a shield and guarantor; we will send a message to Turkey.

The borders are being shut tight, making it clear to refugees that they shouldn't even dream of entering Europe.

My prediction? The EU will close every single border so tightly that not even a cat could slip through. That wild Erdogan, caught between two fires, might trigger a refugee massacre in the camps just to "show" the EU what he can do. At the same time, the war in Syria escalates further, and he starts hitting everyone in sight (including the Russians). Distraught Europeans then launch a military action coordinated with the Russians, because let's face it, they can't do anything without them. Meanwhile, the USA and the UK condemn both the EU and the Russians while actively supporting Turkey. Eventually, Turkey ends up devastated and split into various controlled zones, severing all ties with the great empires. By 2035, Russia and the UAE union merge with the EU into one massive super-union, giving birth to the largest power block ever seen. 😁 And then, finally, we all become brothers here on this forum, all part of the same camp. 😍🙂🙂

Aha, so this is Eva Green. Honestly, that's just unpleasant 🤮 The first one is supposedly the standard for beauty compared to her, though she isn't really my favorite personally

It’s probably a good thing I have my sarcasm turned on today. There hasn't been any nuclear weaponry sitting over there for quite some time now. 👍

Those people who just keep relentlessly chanting "move to Russia" or "move to China" clearly possess the mindset of a stubborn mule—that ancient, backward mentality that’s led us straight into this mess 😉
